Echo 7310p vs Stihl 462c Oak 

Id love to see this comparison after the echo has about 10 more tanks through it. My 590 saw noticeable or gain from where you are at now to the ±15 tank point.

I bucked up a white oak that fell on my brothers property in November. It was probably twice that diameter at the base and really gave my 550xp and 460 husky a workout, I really needed a 70cc but they're expensive saws. Thanks for sharing!

Gotta say I’m glad echo is finally playing game with the big boys again. I’ve got an old CS-670 that’s seen it’s fair share of use. It’s a dog, but it gets the job done. Reminds me of an old ford 300 I6. It might not have the speed but it’ll get it done. This 7310 looks like a pretty good replacement for the old echo plus some. Thanks for the comparison!

Echo is by far the best . Every stihl machinery I have ever had has always been a pain and not comfortable to use . Echo is so well made and actually starts easily and I get less fatigue using echo

Have run Stihl and Husky for years. They're getting too proud for me. 462 is 1200 bucks, 7310 is 800 bucks. I just bought an Echo 620 pw. So far I really like it. 600 bucks. The MS 362 is 850 bucks. Gonna buy a 7310 next. Echo is making some perty good saws lately. I'm switching over.

I like how your Echo ran. Seems like a lower RPM set-up and that may lead to longer life. My saw in that class is the Husqvarna 572XP with 20 and 24 inch bars. It is a high reving saw and awesome cutter; longiviy??? we shall see if I live that long myself.

I have 3 Echo 's, a 355 and 303 for using when in a tree and a P620, all run great and have held up for a long while now with minimal maintenance, a home owner Husq. (maybe 340?) that hasn't been used in years and my newest is a Sthil 462C and would have bought the Echo 7310 if they were open but it was a impulse purchase but it's a great running saw. Ive found I need an even bigger saw for the tree service wood Im getting, most sticks are 25-30+ inches and the 462 will cut it but not fast enough for me lol

Myself I like echo but I do have Stihl chainsaws. I have the cs 7310p 28-in bar and 24 inch bar. I also have the cs 800 p with a 32 in bar. Very reliable chainsaws. 20 inch bar on my CS 590 echo chainsaw.

Stihl, husqy, echo. Best three chain saws. 💪

I like chainsaws. Don't really care who makes them. I acquired a 462c recently because I was curious. If it holds up they are pretty awesome saws. I cut in different temperatures and different elevations and the thing is the same in every condition. Can't fix it myself but I have other saws that I can work on so no big deal. Is it worth it? I would have to say no unless your a production cutter and every second counts. The power to weight thing is pretty cool but some days I still like bucking with my old cs8000. The bottom line to me is nobody gets in trouble for cheating on their chainsaw so try them all with a open mind and do your maintenance.

do they sell the ECHO CS-7310 chainsaw at the home depot?

That stihl was turning some rpm

I like the cs 7310p saw

Hands down it was stihl. And I own the 7310.

Saw a reddit post of this echo unit and saw your video. Seems like a helluva lot of saw for not a ton of money.

That's not just "oak", but white oak- tough stuff. Big question here: how much more $$ does stihl expect to "liberate" from us? Not favorite topic in Waiblingen/Va. Beach, of course.

How's that Echo doing now??

WOW! I don't need a stopwatch for that one. That Stihl has power, rpm, weight advantage and it cuts QUICK. I can't help but wonder if it's worth the cost over the 7310 because I have no clue what the Echo costs, only that it must be less than the 462. If its several hundred (5 or more) less, it'd be hard to say no to Echo.

My cs620p will hang with that cs7310p so I know its got some waking up to do.

The 462 might cut a little faster , but is it $400 faster? When I'm working, no one times my cuts. Who cares . The saw with the sharpest chain is gonna cut faster anyway.

👍👍👍🤝🤝

just watched dyno joes mods port a 7310 for a 36% gain in hp. got my die hard stihl eyes researching, nice video

Ive made my choice, im going with the 462

Maybe tune the echo and use the same bar and chain

I like all chainsaws but my Chinese Holzforma G660 kicks ass for $500 bucks😂

My echo 620 cuts better than my 362

The Echo wins with quality, durability, and its $400 less than the stihl 462 ! If people want to spend alot more money on stihl and husqvarna lol !!!

Stihl all the way

The echo has no chance just ain't got it

STIHL

No comparison....Stihl hands down! Echo are shit!!!

Echo is crap
